[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent admires the labor movement's fight for workers' rights, but she views Lucinda Mayfield with suspicion, believing her fiery rhetoric to be more show than substance.

Her weathered hands and calloused fingers speak volumes about her hard-working nature, and her piercing gaze betrays a hint of vulnerability beneath her tough facade.
